One of the few Factory related things not to have its own catalog number. So, the year is 1982, the Hacienda has been open only for a few months, and things are going both swimmingly and disasterously by reading the contents. William Burroughs is on the cover as he's doing something with Psychic TV, listings in the centre also show Pere Ubu, Jam Wobbly, Psychedelic Furs, Ludus (yes!), Honeymoon Killers (yes!), Dillinger, Orange Juice, Sandi and the Sunsetz and then Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, Big Country etc. Thats quite a serious line up! Big rant at the beginning from the manager complaining about membership cards, having a go at the punters, the newsletter being very late- so that by the time it was read most of the bands had already played, charts from Mike Pickering et al. video reviews and forms at the back, which if you were a member you had to fill in with your guests and show with your membership card. Sounds like a proper disaster. But a beautiful one.
